"Really? That's great. When her boyfriend encountered such a good thing, Chen Huilian was also happy in her heart, and then changed her words and said: "Listening to you say this, you seem to be quite optimistic about this movie?" ”
"It's quite optimistic, but it's hard to say about the box office, if a movie is not released, no one can guarantee how far its box office will go." After speaking, another bowl of black chicken soup went down, and seeing that Chen Huilian was going to pour it again, he hurriedly said: "Don't pour it, I'm already full." ”
"If this "True Colors of Heroes" is really a box office hit this time, then all the media will definitely be shocked." Chen Huilian re-covered the thermal insulation filler, muttered for a while, and said: "My dad called me the day before yesterday, and it seemed that he was interested in investing in Hong Kong films. ”
Zhou Yunfa was stunned for a moment and said: "The current Hong Kong movies are indeed very profitable, if the investment is good, a movie can net one or two million, which is better than any business." But in fact, the vast majority of films can only recover their costs, and some even lose money, because all theaters in Hong Kong are in the hands of Shaw Brothers, New Arts City and Golden Harvest, and other film companies must go through these three companies if they want to make their films listed, and the number of screenings and how many theaters will be released are all decided by these three companies, that is to say, the extent to which a film's box office can reach is completely determined by these three companies. And people also have to charge a share of the box office, which is equivalent to increasing the cost of the movie. So those high-grossing movies that you see are basically shot by these three companies or their affiliates. ”
"Of course, even if it is not from these three companies, as long as the movie is really good, it can still be a big hit, and it will not be a problem to make money at that time. It's not easy to just make a good movie. My suggestion is that if my uncle is really interested in investing in Hong Kong films, it is safer to find Shao Xin Yicheng and Golden Harvest to cooperate. As for Shaw Brothers, production has been reduced in recent years, and recently it has been rumored that Uncle Six plans to sell all of Shaw Brothers' theaters to Debao Film Company, if the news is true, Shaw Brothers should soon stop production. ”
Chen Huilian nodded and said, "Well, I'll tell my dad." By the way, will you have time to wait? If so, we'll have dinner together. ”
At this time, there was a noise outside, which seemed to be carrying the cheers of people, Zhou Yanfa thought that something had happened, and quickly opened the door, but found that Gu Chen, who came to the set at some point, was handing out New Year's red envelopes to everyone, and the scene was called a lively ......
When Gu Chen came to the set, he happened to see Zhang Guorong finish shooting a clip, Wu Yusen saw that the big boss finally appeared, and thought that he had been filming for almost three hours since noon, so he simply announced a half-hour break, and then walked quickly to greet Gu Chen.
"Chen Shao, it's rare for you to come once, ...... quickly" Originally, Wu Yusen wanted to say, 'Please sit down', but as soon as he spit out his words, he immediately came to his senses, where is there a decent place to sit in this field, and his expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "You see that there is no place to sit here." ”
Although Gu Chen and Wu Yusen had a phone call, it was the first time they met in this life, and Wu Yusen's politeness and low profile at this time were in stark contrast to the atmospheric, confident and even conceited Wu Yusen in his memory, "Director Wu is polite, I came here today mainly to take a casual look, and by the way, I came to give you a greeting of the early years." As he spoke, he took the nine big red envelopes with 5,000 yuan from Xiaolan's hand behind him, first gave one to Wu Yusen, then one to Zhang Guorong, as well as Dillon, assistant director, photographer, and lighting engineer...... and other main actors and core members of the director team, including Zhou Yanfa, who came out of the dressing room after the most remark, each sent a big red envelope.
The rest of the people are distributed by Xiaolan. After hard work, I received a red envelope from my boss, although it was not much, but it was not less, and everyone was very happy.
Gu Chen saw Chen Huilian who came out of the dressing room with Zhou Runfa, although he didn't know Chen Huilian, but he could guess who it was, he couldn't help but secretly compare the sister-in-law in front of him with the well-known little dragon girl Chen Yulian, and found that it was really a heaven and an underground.
Don't let a big beauty like Chen Yulian go, and even let Chen Da beauty marry far away in the United States, and actually chose such an ordinary woman. He really doubted Zhou Yanfa's aesthetics. Although he was complaining in his heart, when Zhou Runfa made an introduction, he still greeted him very politely, but that's all, after all, the relationship between him and Zhou Runfa was far less familiar than that between Zhang Guorong and Zhou Runfa.
Then Gu Chen and Wu Yusen casually found a box next to them and sat down, chatting about the movie......
"How's the movie going now?" This question is what Gu Chen is most concerned about, how to say that this is also the first film he should invest in, and he is really looking forward to the day when the film will be successful. At the same time, he also hopes to gather more funds through this film to prepare for the next plan.
"It's okay, in the last day or two, all the main actors have begun to gradually enter the play, and if everything goes well, it can be completed in two months at the earliest, plus post-production, it will be released in mid-April." Wu Yusen is not a director like Wang Jing who pursues the ultimate in film business, and it took less than three months for him to go from the opening to the release of a movie, which is already fast for him, and this is still the result of Zeng Zhiwei's request.
In mid-April, Gu Chenmo calculated the time, just in time, the smile on his face couldn't help but increase a little more, and the words increased, but Wu Yusen had a job, and the two chatted for about half an hour, and the filming continued. Gu Chen chatted with Zhou Yanfa, who didn't have his turn to play, and left after a while, in a few days, his second album will be released, and there are still some things for him to deal with in Polygram.
Fortunately, with the first album as a foreshadowing, his fame has been opened, except for some necessary occasions on this album, he no longer has to cooperate with the company's publicity work in an all-round way like the first album, he is tired like a clockwork robot, sometimes he can't even eat, so he can have free time to do other things. Of course, this is also the result of his negotiations with the company, he is the only one in Hong Kong Polygram who has such treatment, and you have to do what other singer companies arrange, which is a must.
